Coronavirus

[Stef Troll]

good for you, never let a virus get in the way of worrying about other peoples finances

I’m an accountant so I’ve been dealing with clients all day giving advice on what financial measures are in place to help them out. I just find it ironic as lots of clients have been “clever” in the past by under declaring their income being self employed. As a result they are now getting lower handouts from HMRC. Also the extra tax they should have paid could be of use to the NHS now and our general economy in general.

shouldn't you have advised your clients this was not good practice

Yes I do but unfortunately there are people out there who thinks it’s clever to do cash in hand jobs to help pay their tax 😉

That clapping this evening was amazing - reminded me why I love this country so much.
We can get through this.

  Gutted I missed this. I was getting a bit of shopping for my parents as they can't go out

bugger. I forgot

Germany testing 500,000 people a week

● UK has tested 90,000 overall

● Covid death toll Germany 200 (population 83 million) 

● Covid death toll UK 580
(Population 65 million)

● Covid death toll UK 580

That we know about. They're not picking up all the ones who die at home or in nursing homes as confirmed COVID-19 cases so they're going down as pneumonia or underlying conditions. They're only testing people in hospitals.

Thought I’d sign up for one of those groups which was apparently intended a resource to help vulnerable people, identify those who might need some shopping etc.

It’s not, it’s full of nosey curtain twitching wannabe vigilantes who I swear are going out all day just so they can report on a family walking in a park, or a single mum taking her kids to the shop, or 109 other things where someone probably hadn’t done anything wrong.

These people are literally the worst.

Do you/they dress as Ninja's?  You should.

Give a carer the clap

Coincidentally Rob, I tried to turn my phone into a makeshift gopro/head camera today. My first attempt was to tie it to my forehead with an old dressing gown cord. It didn't really work.

Although this virus is horrible and we have a long way to go yet, I'm hopeful tonight that we can heal our broken nation. Years of hate and division can be beaten by decency, care and compassion. Jeez, even the Tory party are coming across as socialist's. There is hope and for now I back the current government. We must put aside political allegiances for the good of the nation.

Nobody has given a thought to the thieves, burglars and shoplifters. How are they supposed to earn a crust with people at home and shop numbers limited.

Maybe the government could come up with a scheme.
